On fete day I ran to my dad, dumping the bag at his feet. I already had my wristband on and I also had my little brother’s with me.

As I ran to find Josh I wondered how I could keep track of time since my busking was at 5.27. Once I found Josh he started worrying too, he was worried about his mum coming late. He couldn’t get his money that way.

But eventually his mum came. We rushed to the ‘slushy’ stall. I had raspberry flavour and so did Josh. After that I got a diet coke because the coke had run out.

We rushed to the giant slide (The Cha-Cha was broken!) and as we got a mat, some people I saw were sneaking in without a mat. I slid down quite a few times, but on one go Josh accidentally hit me in the face while trying to hi-five me. I had a cut lip, but I forgave him when Conor told me what happened in the line for the flying chairs.

I was worried about my lip but eventually I stopped worrying and kept calm even when it was swelling.

Next I had my busking. My mum kept shouting at me but I could not hear her. She was yelling about my busking! I was late!!!

I rushed to the hall with ten milliseconds to spare! They were about to skip me! At least my Jokes were a success! A worker said they laughed at every one!

It was fun from then but also a bit weird when I had a souvlaki hot-dog. Before I went home I drank TWO cartons of juice! I reckon this year’s fete was the weirdest fete ever!

Parent – Hey kids, it’s time for dinner now. Remember what I said – until everybody has eaten a proper dinner there’ll be no trick or treating!

Nesting boxes are homes to many animals who which do not have natural homes.

Nesting boxes are made out of wood, plastic and much more other stuff that is good for animals and nature. Many animals come as if they are welcomed into a new home. We make the nesting boxes so that animals can have a new home.

At the sanctuary, we saw heaps of nesting boxes in trees and in wetlands. They are used for birds and possums to have a new home.

In nature, there are other nesting boxes called hollows. Now, those hollows are the reason we have the nesting boxes because the hollows have a cycle. Only trees that are old ( 100 years ) can produce hollows. When there is a strong breeze a branch snaps off and makes a hollow basically.

This nesting box is home to an eastern yellow bird. When a bird enters a nesting box, they declare that it is its home and its property.

A duck can also live in a nesting box because the duck can’t just be on the ground where other animals (predators) will come and eat the duck for its dinner.

LATROBE UNI WILDLIFE SANCTUARY

At the wildlife sanctuary, we saw heaps of ducks including the black billed buzzard and the mallard. At the sanctuary we saw some nesting boxes on a walk to the wetlands

There were three particular frogs at the Latrobe wetlands that we were informed about. Each of them had a special sound. The first sound was pebbles against each other, the next was wood, and then it was like brrruuuuppp buuurrrppp.

Bugs of the wetlands

There are many types of water bugs at the Latrobe wetlands each of them bearing a different look. Everyone got to look at a few water bugs I saw a back swimmer and almost fell backwards. I was so surprised.
